Unitary Method

The word “unitary” comes from the word “unit”, which means a single and complete entity. In this method, we find the value of a unit product from the given number of products, and then we solve for the other number of products.

Speed, Time, and Distance

Imagine you and 3 of your friends are planning to go to the playground at 6 in the evening. Your house is one mile away from the playground and one of your friends named Jim must start at 5 pm to reach the playground by walk. The other two friends are 3 …

In Exercises 1 through 3, let xo = O and calculate P7(x) and R7(x). 1. f(x)=sin x, x in R. 2. f(x) = cos x, x in R. 3. f(x) = In(1+x), x≥0. 4. In Exercises 1, 2, and 3, for |x| 1, calculate a value of n such that P(x) approximates f(x) to within 10-6. 5. Let (an)neN be a sequence of positive real numbers such that L = lim (an+1/an) exists in R. If L < 1, show that an → 0. [Hint: Let 1111 L

In reference to Corollary 5.4, give an example of a uniformly continuous function on [0, 1] that is differentiable on (0, 1] but whose derivative is not bounded there. 9. Recall that a fixed point of a function f is a point c such that f(c) = c. (a) Show that if f is differentiable on R and f'(x)| x if x 1 and hence In(1+x) 0. 12. For 0 л/2. (Thus, as x л/2 from the left, cos x is never large enough for x+cosx to be greater than л/2 and cot x is never small enough for x + cot x to be less than x/2.)
